I'll keep this short for you, I hate long reviews.
The Reef was a very pleasant surprise. It was well-acted, very well shot with nice cinematography and it was extremely suspenseful.
The characters do not have much depth to them, but just enough character development to keep things interesting for the viewers.
For me, the pacing was just about perfect, and the scares were very well coordinated throughout the film. Just when you think the characters are safe, something happens, and vice versa.
All in all, I think considering the budget everyone involved did a very good job. I recommend this movie for lovers of killer shark flicks, which there aren't very many (good ones) of. It is the best one since 'Jaws' if you ask me.

Just saw The Unborn, when I saw the trailer I thought well this might actually be a good little horror flick. While I would not say this was a terrible movie, it unfortunately did have some mistakes.
This entire film is basically a marathon of shocks, crazy situations and (some) pretty creepy ghosts/demons, so I guess, being a horror fan, thats a good thing, right? well, in this case, its not. The Unborn certainly does not lack in the horror department, showcasing some rather creepy moments, but unfortunately the movie lacks of any suspense, buildup, character development, nor does it have a good script.
Odette Yustman does pretty good, but it's not her fault her performance comes through less, its the script. The movie, from the exact second it begins, delivers 'scare' after scare after scare, but the sad thing is, its not that scary because you don't care about the characters or the story, and there's no buildup whatsoever to speak of.
Its actually a terrible waste, because this movie could have been a solid genre effort, too bad the director/ writer chose the easy way out, and delivered what is one the laziest, been-there-done-that productions of the year.
Entertaining it is to some degree, but its not a full recommendation
